Remembered cars
My father and his brother brought from their parent's house in Manistique, Michigan, a 1931 Olds two door. Still had the wooden spoked wheels, and hand crank. Nothing wrong with the interior, or exterior. Front bumper needed to be replaced, and the body could have been repainted. And it sat in our garage from 1976 to 1996. My father had the thought of restoring it, but developed leukemia and passed away in 1978. I enlisted in the Navy in 1976, and left it in 1996, and on returning home, my mother stated that she wanted her garage back, and to sell the car.
Another early car was the 1957 Henry J, which was later taken for the demolition derby by my father's brother. On graduation from high school, I was given a 1960 Plymouth Valiant wagon with the push button transmission. Should have restored that car. But everyone has their favorites.

pps: Grabbed the wrong pic. Loved the Superbird as well but here is the roadrunner. 
But then I remember... :clap:
Traded it for my Duster and then a custom RX7 with an engine build by a guy that built them for Roger Mandeville who raced for Mazda.
